We dont want much work or special implementation requirements for all
the mirrors. If you you could implement a additional separate interface
that need not be mirrored by others. See fedora-extras list discussions
recently. Andreas was interested in working on it there. Also talk to
yum and repoview developers in yum-devel list or #fedora-devel. skvidal,
icon and panu should be able to sort all of that.
We should be able to write a client-side search with javascript. Is
that what was being discussed on the extras list?
